I think its absurd to me how this is somehow seen as a novel thing. You say something awful in kindergarden, you will be suspended. You try and write something awful in an op ed to the local paper, and it won’t ever get published. You call in to a radio station and say something awful, and you are taken off the air.

I don’t see why a private company with a website is any different than the above situations that no one bats an eye about. No one is entitled to grab any available microphone and say something awful. The only privilege you have is that the government shouldn’t go after you for this. Not that you shouldn’t get the privately owned microphone removed from your hands. And the government is not throwing alex jones into a jail cell despite the hysteria.

Not all of it is digitized. A lot of it is still only found on microfilm in larger libraries.

You can do a lot on the pro tier for inoreader. Paid, but usually goes on sale around black friday.

You can also follow youtube via RSS. Even twitter via RSS.

They don’t have to hire someone from Vietnam. They could hire someone from West Virginia for 1/4 the price of a SF developer a day after college. Maybe even less.

No employer is going to hand me another $400 a month because I need an apartment with another bedroom to serve as the office.

And we are seeing some employers adjust pay to location now too. In the end you are also subsidizing the office out of square footage in your home, and reaping none of the benefits such as socializing with people.

The american climate can mean dramatically different things depending on the city.

This is what I like about some American cities like Los Angeles and New Orleans. Not unexpected to come across a purple house.

Tape.

At the top end its different. There are many top of line bikes that follow the vaporwave aesthetic now, including a trek worth several thousand.

I used to see some variant of british racing green all the time. It really made my acura look great at the time.

In the U.S. car buying is much more like an old world bazaar than a modern transaction. Dealers might knock this fee off to get you to sign.

Thats been the case since the 1950s. But who buys that? Look on your craigslist for apartments and I bet $1000 you wont find any stove or fridge that isn’t stainless steel or white.

Moreso that the paints used two decades ago that you see faded now were crap even back then.

Anecdotally, I’ve never heard of getting a deal on a used car simply because its red or yellow. Mileage and by proxy wear and tear is so much more meaningful on price.

There are services like zelle but the daily limit is often too low to make a rent payment in a high cost of living city.

I tried doing this in college too but it broke down immediately. The way coursework and exams are conducted almost forces you to burn the midnight oil and sacrifice sleep for forcing another three or four things to memorize into your head.

That’s what it felt like, like I had very limited time to shove x amount of things into my brain which only processes at y rate, so if I had too many things to shove in at a time due to taking a full courseload, that meant staying up since I cant change the rate my brain digests information without abusing stimulants like some of my friends.

So then you end up with a few nights of 5 hour sleep which you pay for by sleeping for 13 hours on the weekend. Not healthy, but it became a matter of necessity due to also having to make time for a part time job.

A canon rebel and the cheapest prime lens they offer can be had for well under 1k and will take better photos than a phone. Can’t argue with the laws of physics, its much easier to get fidelity with larger lenses and sensors.

Every DSLR does

Better than no picture at all which is what the quote is going for

The counter argument is that it is a waste if you aren’t making full use of the difference in spec sheets. Its like buying a car that can go 200mph then using it to drive A to B at the speed limit, same as you can do in a honda civic. Phones are faster, sure, but how much power do your use cases actually require?

For me, all I do is email/text/call/mobile web, so getting a processor 10x faster than last generation is a waste of compute resources considering the last generation did all of the above without strain.

The only impetus for upgrading a phone for me is if it starts failing at being a phone. I upgraded my old SE to the new SE when it was on steep discount earlier this summer solely because my old one took a few tumbles in its life and was dropping nearly every call.

Other than that, the phone wasn’t slow at all. The rear camera was acceptable. The battery life was fine. If it wasn’t dropping calls I would still be using that phone. In a lot of ways I miss it, primarily the size and the light weight compared to the new SE, but the design flaw of getting dust under the front camera lens pushed me to the new SE ultimately since it made the front camera next to useless after a year in a pocket. It happened in my iPhone 5, my 5s, and was never fixed in the SE1, lending further creedence to my theory that engineers at apple don’t use the products they design, or at least certainly not for the typical length of time that an end user would before being handed the next generation device to use from work, before most critical issues crop up.

The longevity of recent phones is a huge contrast from the early days, where an iphone 3g would struggle to function on the mobile web or basic apps compared to the 3gs, but those days are long gone. iphones have been more than powerful enough for 99% of peoples use cases since the iphone 6s. A 6s or SE1 is still a perfectly performant phone today.

You are still paying 1/3 the price of a new phone a year for that privilege, which is no small sum these days. Most people I know including myself are getting like 5-6 years out of their phones now.

I saw a road in my neighborhood go from trenches along the road to full storm drains and sidewalks, for seemingly zero reason but to let the existing owners appraise their homes for $10k more. The trenches were fine in practice and never spilled over even in the worst storms. This suburb of 15 thousand people is currently millions of dollars in the hole doling out shortsighted handouts like this, and there are thousands of suburbs just like this one.

Buddhism does, however.

Can confirm still broken in catalina.

People use macs because you can send it in for repair, and mac OS is arguably the most polished unix based desktop environment. Linux is too fiddly.
